Notes of a Native-Speaking English Teacher

Bad news: the first time I went to try it, it was down.  Not sure what the sign says, but I am hopeful that it will be up and running soon.

I found out later that there is a second KB atm, between this one and the one at E-Mart.  They are hiding in plain site.

 

It's not easy to see, but there are several different bank ATMs outside the entrance of Hosu Maeul apartments near building 129.  In this picture, KB is on the left side.

This is the secondary location.

 

In a nutshell: not ready for prime time.

I was happy to see the English options on the screen and relatively simple instructions.

Tried to go online to register.  Wouldn't take my name and ARC number.  Went to the booth near Gojan and spoke to the people there about it.  They had nothing to offer me, but they did take me in the office and help me try on the computer.  They told me to bring back a Korean speaking friend.  I asked them the best I could to write the issue on paper.  They wrote down in Korean "bring a Korean speaking friend".  Facepalm.

A friend in the office of my school made a phone call.  We were told that foreigners weren't added to the system yet.  They would do a work-around if I filled out a special form and send a copy of my ARC.  Done.

A few hours later, another call.  The ARC copy wasn't faxed clearly enough.  Send again - lighter.  Done.

A few hours later, yet another call.  Foreigners aren't yet eligible for the program yet due to a computer issue.

Three or four weeks later, no clear solution yet.

 

If you are facing the main counter, this room is to the left.  It's called the 포장실 (the packing room).

All the rates are listed on the desk.

It took almost two years, but I finally found something (accidentally) that relates to trash and garbage removal.  I found this at the bus stop near Ansan Station.  It explains the different sorts of materials and when and how they are collected.
